The Lady of Shalott

Description

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turned to towered Camelot.
For ere she reached upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.

-- Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 'The Lady of Shalott'

A picture drawn for my mother's birthday, as she loves that poem, as do I. I decided that the Lady of Shalott should have all her undone threads wrapped around her in death - Ophelia can have all the flowers she wants, but the Lady of Shalott is an artist, and dies surrounded by her instruments. This results in what may be the single most colorful rendition of the Lady of Shalott ever.
